Jane gives em Hell

I think all of us at JoBlo.com are unabashed fans of Thomas Jane. That fact was hammered home last year at Comic-Con when we ran into him in the lobby of our hotel and…OK, maybe I shouldn’t elaborate. Let’s just say the mere mention of said encounter still tickles the JoBlo crew pink. Today we have news of Jane’s next film GIVE ‘EM HELL MALONE. Russell Mulcahy (THE SCORPION KING 2, RESIDENT EVIL 3) will direct the film with Jane co-starring alongside Ving Rhames and Michelle Rodriguez. The official synopsis of the film is as follows:

A tough, feared private eye named Malone is hired to protect and deliver a valuable secret to a ruthless gangster named Whitmore. But what’s valuable to Whitmore is valuable to an army of thugs, assassins, and hitmen, all of whom will do anything to get the secret from Malone.

There are some rumors that the film is being set up to go direct-to-DVD but as I understanding it, nothing is set in stone yet. With a title change, I can certainly see it making a limited run in theaters (who doesn’t love Thomas Jane giving people hell?!). Filming on MALONE is scheduled to begin next month in Washington.
